Im just starting to tidy up my spare wheels and my first instinct was to powdercoat the rims Black on this set too, but im in two minds..... as im think of my next project being a more stock looking Zed...

I'm old enough to think rims should be chrome or polished aluminium, but not old enough to think they should be painted.

I on the other hand have seen plenty of painted wheels and nickel plating from back in the day! :woohoo:

Anyway, I was just kidding. Painted rims can look really nice. I like the special versions of the W800 with painted rims instead of polished alloy. But if my plan was to build a modern retro of a Z1-ish thing, I'd go with natural colours instead of painted.
Here's one old school style with polished rims in 17", the Honda NC36 - I dig it

gear lever turned up today, so i threw that on and its a tad too wide...
when i tighten up the foot peg bolt it clamps the lever solid, so ill have to take to it with a file when i get a chance.
